im waiting on a Foamaster II to get here. i had been using some eagle 1 every time i wash the car. i just dont want to eat the clear off ya know. i guess ill using the FM and clean them good and see what they look like and if i need some cleaner go back over them.
ive been looking at the Griots wheel cleaner, by reading the ad im assuming its a mild cleaner since its BBS approved. after i go throught the eagle 1 and hot rims (yes i needed stuff in a pinch and cheap) i may try the Griots or if you guys can recommend a good cleaner i can get a gal container of that is easy on clear coated wheels id appreciate that. |
Yes, the goal is to maintain them often enough that only soap is needed to clean. A mild cleaner such as Griots should not harm the clear, however, it will probably remove any sealant or wax applied to the wheels. If I recall correctly the Eagle One stuff contains one of the nasty HF or ABF acids; which I do not recommend.
